Dear Parents, Guardians and Friends,
 
I am writing to ask you to join me in donating to the Takoma Thrives fundraising appeal.  Takoma Thrives is our annual major fundraising event by the PTA for TPMS. Takoma Thrives is our slogan for the appeal and our goals for our school.
 
Through Takoma Thrives we are:
  • giving Three Hours for Takoma as volunteers
  • Honoring our staff
  • Reaching new heights
  • Investing in our community
  • being a Voice for our children
  • making sure Every parent counts
  • and showing our School spirit.
Our contributions will help reach the goal of $5,500. Last year Takoma Thrives raised $4,836 from the community. Those contributions helped support the Sixth Grade Picnic, the Eighth Grade Graduation gifts, Mini-Grants to the GSA, Real Food for Kids Culinary Program, the Takoma Park Early Career Program and the Star Student Awards to name a few and staff appreciation events such as Magical Mondays. The funds will also help sponsor the upcoming Community Event on May 10th.
 
Please join me in making Takoma Thrive. You can make a donation by mail or following the links below via Paypal, Venmo or with your credit card.

Thank you!

Dawn Taylor

I encourage others to write a similar letter to the school board and principal after reading this compelling op/Edwww.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/08/09/montgomery-county-schools-should-mandate-vaccines-teac...Dear Ms. McKnight, Ms. Dawson and school board members: As a parent of a rising 6th grader in MCPS, I’m writing to ask that MCPS require vaccinations for all MCPS employees, including teachers, staff and eligible students. While we are looking forward to having our daughter back in school and in person again, we have grave concerns about the safety of the school environment. According to an August report from the American Academy of Pediatrics, there have been 76,000 cumulative cases of COVID-19 among Marylanders under the age of 19 during the pandemic. If children are around unvaccinated people in schools, it is likely that cases of COVID-19 will continue to spread. Vaccine mandates are tools for securing public health. The University of Maryland, for example, is requiring vaccinations and masks for all staff and students on its campuses. MCPS should follow the lead of other educational institutions and school districts that are prioritizing health and safety concerns. Thank you for your service. I look forward to hearing from you. Here’s an oped that came out in the Post yesterday from a parent in MoCo urging for a vaccine mandate. I fully support this - and so does science. You are risking many many lives by not requiring it of everyone coming in the doors.Best, Jared B.

Takoma Park Middle School Food Pantry

Dear TPMS Families,
The Difference Makers Takoma Park Middle School Food Pantry is now working with the Takoma Park Middle School PTA, Takoma Park Elementary School PTA and Piney Branch Elementary School PTA as one site in collaboration for monetary donations for local families in need and to find information about how to receive food assistance during the coronavirus school shut down.
As a safety precaution and until we get past this current health crisis, we will no longer be accepting food donations but will start giving Giant gift card donations this Sunday and continue on a weekly basis. We will gratefully receive monetary donations through https://tpespta.net/donate-now/ or you can purchase Giant Gift cards online and email them to takomafood@gmail.com. Families will then be able to more safely shop for themselves. We recently distributed cards to over 250 families!
If you are a family in need of assistance with food, please email takomafood@gmail.com
If you are in a position to donate, please do so generously as we work to keep our community safe and keep food in the homes of our families in need.
Thank you so much for supporting this important community initiative.
Wendy Kent, Pantry Coordinator & Manager Bryan Goehring, TPMS Difference Makers Gretchen Weigel Doughty, Takoma Park Middle School PTA President Meghan Holland McDonald, Takoma Park Elementary School PTA President
